Several songs became hits in Brazil. The first hit of all was The Dead Heart, followed by Beds are Buning. I've been listening to these tracks on the radio since 1989. Blue Sky Mining album was even more successful, with at least four hits on radio stations across the country. The band first became popular among Brazilian surfers who traveled to Australia in search of giant waves. Some people claimed that Brazil was the band's biggest audience outside of Australia. Great band, great songs and great lyrics. I have fond memories listening to them.
Ditto on that! Saw them pre-COVID in 2017 and 2019 and post-COVID in 2022! Amazing performers that give 100% every time they take the stage. Also, RIP Bones Hillman.
I understand what you are saying and this is coming from a US citizen in 2024. I am still hopeful that the November election will bring about good change and democracy will not go by the wayside. In the meantime, still listen to the Oils singing about Australia but I understand their perspective on how they feel about their country. No country is perfect but regardless of where we live, we all need to strive to make things better for our perspective country and the world we live in.
@@theshermer the choice will be between authoritarianism as opposed to democracy. I see neither choice of candidate as a great choice, but I know that I will always support American democracy, we don't need an Orban or a Putin in charge of the USA.
41 years ago I saw Midnight Oil at The Royal Antler Narrabeen. I have to thank the boys from The Strand house at Dee Why for taking me to the gig. It was late 1979, a warm night, people pouring jugs of iced water on each other and Peter Garrett's head, steam coming from the Lead Singer's bald cranium. Their music and especially their lyrics have made THE OILS one of the most important Rock bands in history. This new song ' Gadigal Land' is an instant Oils Classic. Words cannot describe how much I love this track. Sydney Radio station MMM played it every hour yesterday, so credit to them for that. Before they played it the first time I was thinking " oh, I hope it's good " I loved it from the opening chords, the thumping Drums, the throbbing Bass and Garrett's vocals delivering every word that is punching the Colonial invaders in the face. Well done boys, this is excellent!
Great lyrics. Job well done by this talented band so underrated Was it just a dream, were you so confused Was it just a giant leap of logic Was it the time of year That makes a state of fear Methods, were their motives for the action And did I hear you say My country right or wrong Did you save your face Did you breach your faith Women, there were children at the shelter Now who can stop the hail When human senses fail There was never any warning, no escape And did I hear you say My country right or wrong My country oh so strong My country right or wrong My country right or wrong My country going wrong My country right or wrong I hear you say the truth must take a beating The flag a camouflage for your deceiving Cause I know, (I know) I know, it's written on your soul I know we all make mistakes This is not a case of blurred vision, it's a case of black holes, pocket Holes, soul holes And did I hear you say My country right or wrong My country oh so strong My country right or wrong My country right or wrong My country going wrong My country right or wrong My country, my country, my country
Just saw them live last night here in Curitiba (Brazil). Awesome!!!!!! (But unfortunatelly, this song wasn't on the set list...) But there were Kosciusko, Only the strong, Warakurna, Truganini, Shakers & movers, Dreamworld, King of the mountain, Artic world, Put down that weapon, When the generals talk, Bullroarer, Sell my soul.... Without mentioning the local hits Beds are burning, The dead heart, Blue sky mine and Forgotten years! Such a night to remember!!
Had the privilege of watching midnight oil at Royal Theatre in Canberra ON reconciliation day this year. They played the whole diesel and dust album. I dunno who I'm saying this too but I'm still frothing
THE WORLD NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY MIDNIGHT OIL!!! DONT EVER STOP MAKING MUSIC!!! PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING IS WRONG!!! THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF EVIL PEOPLE, PEOPLE WHO DO EVIL THINGS, AND PEOPLE WHO SEE EVIL THINGS BEING DONE AND DONT TRY TO STOP IT. PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC!!!!
I also like the band and I don't know why this song become one of my top 3 songs of Midnight Oil. For me it's Forgotten Years still their best. My likes for punk and metal bands with similar song topics that they create made me notice the greatness of the band. A tough guy that makes dancing so easy.... no argument, that's him.
I always loved this band. Powerful, relevant, exciting stuff from Ozz. Their appearance on Saturday Night Live is still one of that show's highlights for me.
This is bizarrely the most underrated song from one of Australia's most commercially successful bands. And, unlike many of their other songs which are mostly applicable just to Australian social & political life, this song has such universal appeal. Really ought to be played more especially on national holidays like Australia Day or Anzac Day since those are times when people have a tendency to become conspicuously patriotic & think in terms of "my country". Maybe if more people get the message, they'll tone it down a bit because the way one person perceives "their" country may be entirely different from the way another does. Sure, you have a right to express what you want but it is always important to be mindful of others, especially in this "woken" age. Always keep it real. Easily on par with Forgotten Years & Blue Sky Mining. Love it :)
That's okay. I respect your passion. I wasn't having a dig a nationalism. I was simply pointing out that this song which i feel is very appropriate for a national day such as Australia Day is asking us to question what the concept of "country" means to us on a personal level. That is all.
Though I love all of their songs, this is my favourite Midnight Oil song because of the thoughtful lyrics, the deep message, the infectious beat, the punchy chorus & the ultra-high energy that it invokes. This is always played loudly on-loop whenever possible 🇦🇺
This is a timeless song as long as we are all here. No more war - this has been said all my life 62 years but yet we are looking at more wars and death of potential look at US Civil War it was always said that put us back 50 years - it put us back hundreds of thousands and their potential sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters. Yeah the song talks of my country right or wrong but now it is a world wide religious war --stupid..stupid..stupid. Just blindless idealogues, fanatics that just...sorry no end point here it was rambling with hope that God can help us stop this - my prayer tonight. God Bless Australia.
+K Mac Sorry Mate, God won't have none of it. If you're waiting for some so-called "God" to fix anything...and I mean one single thing...you'll be waiting forever. And to those (not necessarily you) who might have the delusion that (if God even exists in the first place), He is somehow on your side but not the other, that's taking the delusion even further off the rails. Nope, we broke it and there ain't no "higher power" going to set it right for us. Same goes for any country, or any culture, or any society, anywhere at anytime. It's all on us, there will be no intervention.
Midnight Oil should be required listening in every music education class in the world. You want to be educated on what music is or should be about? Midnight Oil. Who can stop the hate when human senses fade? Wish everyone could learn that lesson.
Still being one of the most important bands of the world!!! I love Midnight Oil!!!!
Rest in peace, “Bones” Hillman (bass player here)

I got to meet him when they played Indianapolis Indiana years back so sad to hear he was such a nice guy

Lyric wise, Midnight Oil was way ahead of its time...RESPECT
How so? In the United States, "My Country, Right Or Wrong" was a popular slogan during the last years of the Vietnam War.
I've seen them live a few times never disappointed 100% ENERGY
Peter is a living legend. Great singer, intelligent, and a gentleman.
I’m so glad they came back and I got to hear this song 3 times live in 5 years.

One of their best. Love the piano lead.

Perfeição absoluta!
Sou do Brasil e Amo as Músicas de vcs.
Eu também!
Great lyrics. Job well done by this talented band so underrated
Was it just a dream, were you so confused
Was it just a giant leap of logic
Was it the time of year
That makes a state of fear
Methods, were their motives for the action
And did I hear you say
My country right or wrong
Did you save your face
Did you breach your faith
Women, there were children at the shelter
Now who can stop the hail
When human senses fail
There was never any warning, no escape
And did I hear you say
My country right or wrong
My country oh so strong
My country right or wrong
My country right or wrong
My country going wrong
My country right or wrong
I hear you say the truth must take a beating
The flag a camouflage for your deceiving
Cause I know, (I know) I know, it's written on your soul
I know we all make mistakes
This is not a case of blurred vision, it's a case of black holes, pocket
Holes, soul holes
And did I hear you say
My country right or wrong
My country oh so strong
My country right or wrong
My country right or wrong
My country going wrong
My country right or wrong
My country, my country, my country
Gosto muito dessa banda.Peter Garrett é uma grande personalidade, tanto na música quanto na política.
Just saw them live last night here in Curitiba (Brazil).
